Generic Combo Form Features

Combos on forms help keep user input consistent and enter data quickly. You can search and group data consistently for reports. Combos can limit the choices that normal users may enter into a field, while letting a super user add new combo vaules. This Combo form lets you maintain one, two or even three field tables without the need for a separate table, query and form for each combo. This saves development and testing time if you have a lot of combo fields.
